Different Types of Luxury Apartment Floor Plans

Upscale rentals have grown over time with a diverse collection of custom designs and unique styling. Here are some of the most popular luxury apartment designs that you can use as a template to start planning your apartment.

Open Floor Plan

An open floor plan is a popular layout for luxury apartments, and it’s especially suitable if you’re in lack of space. The concept of an open floor plan combines multiple living spaces into one large open room.

Where the living spaces include a kitchen, dining area, and living room. Accommodating all these spaces in one room will enable a greater sense of spaciousness, and the apartment will feel larger than it actually is. 

This style of apartment is also very suitable for hosting different types of parties. A large number of guests can mingle in the same room while doing various activities. 

Split Bedrooms

This type of apartment layout is great for families or residents who highly prioritize personal space. A split-bedroom apartment comes with two-three bedrooms, each on a different side of the apartment. 

The concept of this layout is sharing a living space in the middle and keeping the personal rooms far apart from each other. This also makes the plan suitable for people who want to share an apartment.  

Studio Luxury Apartments

This type of apartment layout incorporates the open floor plan scheme but to a greater extent. Studio apartments combine living and sleeping spaces into one room. 

Couples or single renters who want an affordable and spacious place with less hassle typically love studio apartment layouts. If furnished properly, a studio apartment can become a dream-like place to live in. 

One can also use pseudo partitions to declare a private space. 

Garden Apartments

This type of apartment layout isn’t only for people who are fond of gardening. Garden apartments come with private space at the front or back of the house and may have personal entrances. 

Besides people who love gardening, pet owners and families with kids typically tend to go for garden apartments.

Lofts

A loft layout is a unique option for luxury apartments which also involves an open floor plan. Lofts typically have high ceilings with huge windows on the sides. These features make them feel very spacious, bright, and airy.  

Artists or people with creative pursuits love lofts because of the simplicity it provides along with ample amount of space. Loft layouts are mostly seen in converted industry-grade buildings and warehouses. 

Duplex

This type of luxury apartment layout involves two separate layers of living space within the same apartment. The bottom layer is often designed as an open floor layout, merging the kitchen, dining, and drawing spaces into a single large space.

And the upper layer typically holds the sleeping space. But the most lucrative side of a duplex layout is it can literally double the space available for your apartment. 

This layout also provides great privacy, making it suitable for large to medium families.

Key Features to Maintain When Creating Floor Plans for Luxury Apartments

Key Features to Maintain When Creating Floor Plans for Luxury Apartments Luxury Apartment Floor Plans

When creating a luxury apartment floor plan, there are several key features that need to be availed. These features enable greater functionality, attractiveness, and comfort of the place. Let’s dive in. 

Natural Light

Your apartment layout should have a lot of ways to let in natural light. An apartment with an abundance of natural light will have a fresher atmosphere. Sunlight also prevents the infestation of molds inside the house by keeping the humidity in check. 

You can maintain the abundance of natural light inside the apartment by accurately placing the windows. Furniture and other components of the apartment shouldn’t interfere with the natural inlet of light. 

Storage Space

Every household has a lot of items that are not used in daily activities. There are also old items that one can neither use nor throw out due to sentimental value. Keeping these objects separate is why proper storage space is necessary for any household.

Additionally, luxury apartments usually have a lot of discarded items and furniture. Storage space helps to keep the apartment clutter-less and organized. Also, a clutter-free apartment is easier to maintain. 

Color Scheme

A luxury apartment floor plan will have a great focus on the aesthetics of the house, and the color scheme plays a great role in that. You should consider using a soft, neutral color pallet with pops of bold color here and there.

This will portray elegance and sophistication in the design. Too many bold or heavy colors will make your place feel disoriented and overwhelming.

Placement of Furniture and Similar Components

Where you plan to place your furniture and other components plays a great role in your apartment’s looks and flow. In this context, flow indicates the ease of movement throughout the apartment. 

If your furniture placement isn’t well-planned in the layout, the apartment will look crowded and overwhelming when built. The ease of movement throughout an apartment is also a must-have feature for a better quality of living. 

Lighting Scheme

For a luxury apartment, a lighting scheme is a key feature as it helps you to set the ambiance to your liking. A tasteful and well-designed lighting scheme will represent your elegance and sophistication to your guests. 

Proper lighting can also enhance the ambiance of the place and highlight its key features. You can incorporate a mix of different types of lighting for an elevated result, like overhead lighting, task lighting, accent lighting, etc.

Tips for Creating a Luxury Apartment Floor Plan

Creating the perfect floor plan for a luxury apartment will take time and patience. Follow the tips provided below to make the task easier and add more flexibility to it.

Use CAD Systems

There is nothing wrong with drafting a floor plan on paper and pencil. It just requires more work and patience. In contrast, computer-aided design (CAD) systems aim to make the floor plan design process a lot easier and more precise.

CAD systems also provide a diverse set of tools and options to enhance your floor plan.

Don’t Hesitate to Take Professional Help

If you don’t feel confident enough to design the entire floor plan on your own, consider getting professional help. A professional perspective will add a lot of value and precision to your work. 

Designing a luxury apartment floor plan often requires crucial decision-making and overcoming unwarranted issues. Having a professional hand by your side can help you overcome these challenges effortlessly.

Consider Your Lifestyle First

You’ll need to assess your lifestyle and needs first before you start planning for your luxury apartment floor layout. Assessing your needs will tell you what you want from the apartment, and you can draft accordingly.

Keep Things Simple

Remember that being luxurious doesn’t mean being overcomplicated. A lot of people fill their apartment floor plan with unnecessary furnish. This makes the apartment crowded, overwhelming, and uncomfortable in general.  

Keep your apartment plan simply because there is elegance in simplicity. Don’t overcomplicate your design, and focus equally on comfort and aesthetics.
